George de Lama, the Chicago Tribune managing editor for news and the first Latino ever to appear on the newspaper’s masthead, announced today he is leaving the paper after 30 years.
His successor will be Hanke Gratteau, who in March was elevated to deputy managing editor for news from associate managing editor for metropolitian news.
“His wisdom, humor and passion have been the source of great inspiration for me and this newsroom,” Chicago Tribune Editor Ann Marie Lipinski said in a note to the newsroom. “He remains my dear friend but I will miss him, and not just a little.”*
